Fedir Usmanov is Running for NYC Council – District 47 – Bay Ridge to Coney Island
Fedir Usmanov is running for NYC Council to represent Bay Ridge to Coney Island in District 47. I asked him why he was running and he said that people want action, not just talk.
Fedir likes the color orange as he is wearing an orange jacket and has an orange campaign website. (See here) He told me that he likes orange because it represents energy, change, and a fresh approach.
Usmanov‘s website doesn’t say he is a Democrat, but he is pictured with Council representative Susan Zhuang and Assemblyman Colton. He must be a moderate Democrat.
He has three main focuses:
1) Smart budgeting—ensuring every dollar actually improves people’s daily lives. (This is good because a lot of non-profits receive the money from our district)
2) Better education and youth opportunities—investing in long-term success of our community.
3) Safer communities—building trust with police and stronger crime prevention programs.
Usmanov will be in the Democratic primary against Kayla Santosuosso in June. Santosuosso ran Khader El Yateem’s campaign a few years ago. El Yateem was a socialist.
Kayla purchased her domain in August, but hasn’t put anything up.
Fedir Usmanov is the youngest candidate that has run for this position. He is finishing his college degree.
